I bought this tool as a gift for my woodworking boyfriend. He has made some wonderful things over the years and I wanted them to have his name on them! The service was great. The website didn't explain very well about how I would get the branding iron to say what I wanted (I thought they would e-mail me) but when the iron arrived the instructions were very clear. They stated it would take two weeks for the name plate to arrive and it came in less time. (could be because it wasn't a busy gift giving season). We still need to work on the time it takes to brand different kinds of wood but we are completely satisfied and I have already talked one of my friends into ordering the product for her father. Thanks!

This is an excellant product.
It gets very hot , so be careful not to hold it on wood too long.
I have two heads, one is longer than the other . The shorter one does a better job,I think because the long one gets hotter in the middle than it does toward the outside.
The head screws off so they are interchangable.
Soft wood burns quicker than hardwoods . Takes a little practice , but very nice product.

Everything is OK with the woodburner but the ends of the flat brass are too long; it would be nicer if these were cut off close to the words; it would be easier to see under the head when using it.

received in about a week from amazon. then there's a form to send into wall lenk to get the customized head. that's supposed to take up to two weeks. called 'em after two weeks; machines are down and will be fixed in a few more days. i am coming up on the fourth week after sending the form to wall lenk. just called and will be receiving the custom head after 4 weeks of sending in the form. i have two projects that have been sitting and waiting to get branded. for saving a few bucks... you make the call. approximately 5 weeks lead time after ordering from amazon. once i finally get it, i am assuming it will work properly.

These branding irons last for about 18 months before they burn out. I use three to four at a time with different logos. Putting a branded trade name helps sell our products.

The Wall Lenk CM125W Woodwoking Branding Iron is a good buy for the money.
Excellent company to do business with.

The description does not say what is in the iron, like "Handcrafted by yo name". Better provide detailed procedures. Otherwise I have to cancel the order after checking what is in the iron. And in worst case, they may not accept the return because it's customized item.
